Old Chelsea Church by Francis Seymour Haden: A grayscale etching depicting a river scene with a town on the opposite bank. The riverbank on the right features a steep slope with a row of dark trees. The river occupies the lower half of the etching and has gentle ripples reflecting the cloudy sky. Two small boats with people are on the river; one is in the foreground and to the left. The opposite bank has a mix of buildings including a prominent tower on the left. The sky has scattered clouds and birds flying in the top-right corner. The etching is surrounded by a thick off-white border with faint handwritten text at the bottom.
